ok, I already got and agreed with the sentiment that propaganda media is the norm for America. My question is, how are you determining what is or isn't propaganda being put forth by the media companies and articles you are presenting? Anyone can just say it's the truth because they agree with it (look at qanon and general right wing media). What makes the reporting valid to you besides it's apparent point of country origin?
Personally, I just have no clue. I know tragedies occurred and every side will skew the truth for their own perspective (this isn't even malicious sometimes, just seeing a situation play out differently i.e. police forcefully but respectfully removed citizens vs police brutalized and forced citizens to flee the area). I wasn't there, so I wont argue any specific events but I don't just inherently trust one news source over another.
I obviously intend not to or I would have already, but go on.
👻 Oh no, someone can be both a whistleblower and a piece of shit. You know who else was a patriotic child sex predator? Thomas Jefferson.
Notice the Lemmitor being an insufferably smug debate lord. Ipso Facto QED We got’em boys
I don’t owe any of that labor to anyone. People who want to know can look into the sources themselves and come to their own conclusions.
Notice how the debate bro drones on like a Large Language Model, despite having lost his audience several comments ago.
